Today's checkin is a baby step on the road towards richer "social networking" functionality on CellarTracker. It is still very barebones for now, but there are a few new concepts in place:
  • The site has had the notion of a "buddy" for a few years, but that has mainly been just as a way of allowing High/Paranoid privacy users to let other users browse their cellars. This concept remains and is unchanged, but the user interface is now much less buried. The top level menu has a BUDDIES link which takes you to a page showing the people who have given you permission to see their cellars AND where you can grant permission to others. This will be fleshed out quite a bit more in the future.
  • There is now an additional buddy concept which I suspect will take off a lot more. Now whenever you see a public tasting note, there are links to either add the author as a FAVORITE AUTHOR or to add them to your IGNORED AUTHORS list. The tasting note views now also have a simple checkbox filter so you can toggle between showing all of the notes or just those from your favorite authors. So if you find a series of authors that you trust you can now easily build up your own private list and report ont hat in fairly rich ways. The grouped tasting note reports now also let you group around the favorite author status. The IGNORED AUTHOR list is a one-click way for you to "get rid of" a taster that you find to be noisy or with whom you disagree.
  • When people start building up lists of their favorite authors I will expose reports showing the most frequently favorited authors on the site. Also, for each user, they can see which users have added them to their favorite author lists.
Anyway, this is just the first layer of the onion. Start building those networks and tagging your favorite authors. I will be doing a LOT more soon...

- I see big problems in individual wine view
- problem in myCellar view.

I tried to make some screenshots that I can send to you If you need them.


Regards, Robert

Status: offline 		fingers and NiklasW, thanks so much. These are still just teensy baby steps, but there will be more soon. A little tidbit for tonight, a new report showing the most frequently "favorited" authors.

And don't worry, I am not letting this go to my head. I know it is simply because it's my site.

Status: offline 		1) I think that you published favorite author list too early. Now people's decisions will be made basing on this list rather than basing on tasting notes. Instead of publishing this list, stars could be in different colors (like in eBay). Thus people could see rating (color) only AFTER the reviewer is chosen as favorite.

2) Why FireFox spellchecker doesn't work with this post message form here in forum?

Status: offline 		What about a link on the buddy page that will display who has tagged me as a favorite author?  Maybe useless trivia but it could be good for my ego!

Oh wait, it IS there already!  Cool!

Status: offline 		Fingers, I was on my way here to tell you--and see you figured it out already...

I am hard at work right now on a user detail page. So anywhere on the site you can click on a user name and more easily add them to your cellar buddies list, and also see who has named they as a favorite TN author. And since each name will bring up the detail page you can surf aroiund and around and around and around. You can also see when people signed up etc. And I soon hope to be working on some interesting functionality so that, if you have access to someones cellar, you will be able to easily comparte your cellar to theirs (see what wines and producer they have which you do not or vice versa, or also see what you have in common. I haven;t quite wrapped my head around it all yet...)
